Overview: What is Child Find?
Overview: What is Child Find?
Skykomish School District is committed to identifying, locating, and evaluating all children residing within district boundaries (ages birth through 21) who may have a disability or developmental delay. This completely free public service—known as Child Find—helps ensure that infants, toddlers, and school-age children receive the early intervention or special education supports they need to thrive.
If you suspect your child is experiencing delays in speech/language, motor skills, social-emotional development, or learning, you can request a comprehensive evaluation at no cost to your family, regardless of whether your child is enrolled in public school.
Preschool-Age Children (Ages 3 to 5)
Preschool-Age Children (Ages 3 to 5)
For children who are three or four years old but not yet eligible for kindergarten, the Skykomish School District coordinates and conducts developmental screenings directly.
What it covers: Pre-academic skills, speech clarity, language comprehension, fine/gross motor development, and social behaviors.
How to request an evaluation:
Submit a written or verbal request for a Child Find Screening to the district administration office.
The district schedules periodic community screening days throughout the school year, but an individual screening can be arranged if a parent or pediatrician expresses immediate concerns.
If the screening indicates a potential delay, the district will seek your written consent to conduct a formal, multi-disciplinary evaluation for preschool special education services.
School-Age Children (Ages 5 to 21 or K-12)
School-Age Children (Ages 5 to 21 or K-12)
If your child is currently attending school (or is school-aged and homeschooled/privately schooled within our boundaries) and is struggling academically, socially, or behaviorally, a formal special education evaluation process can be initiated.
What it covers: Specific learning disabilities, speech/language impairments, emotional/behavioral challenges, health impairments (like ADHD), or developmental disabilities affecting educational performance.
How to request an evaluation:
Submit a written request: Provide a dated letter or email to your child’s teacher, the principal, or the Special Education / Student Services Department.
Detail your concerns: In your note, clearly state: "I am requesting a comprehensive special education evaluation for my child because..." and list your specific concerns (e.g., reading comprehension struggles, emotional dysregulation, speech clarity).
The 25-day timeline: By Washington State law, once the district receives your written request, our evaluation team has exactly 25 school days to review existing data, meet with you, and decide whether to move forward with a formal testing evaluation.
A note on confidentiality: All Child Find screenings, evaluations, and subsequent specialized services are strictly confidential and protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Section 504 and ADA Parent Rights

Section 504 and ADA: Parent & Student Rights
Overview of Legal Protections
Overview of Legal Protections
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are federal civil rights laws that strictly prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities. In a public school setting, these laws guarantee that students with disabilities have equal access to educational programs, extracurricular activities, and district facilities.
Unlike special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which focuses on specialized remedial instruction, Section 504 ensures equal opportunity by eliminating physical, instructional, and procedural barriers.
Who Qualifies for Protection?
Who Qualifies for Protection?
To be protected under Section 504 and the ADA, a student must have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Major life activities include: Learning, reading, thinking, concentrating, communicating, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, or the operation of a major bodily function (such as neurological, immune, or digestive systems).
Examples of eligible conditions: Chronic health conditions (such as asthma, severe allergies, diabetes, epilepsy), mental health diagnoses (anxiety, depression), temporary mobility impairments (concussions, broken bones), or neurodivergent profiles like ADHD.
Core Rights Under Section 504
Core Rights Under Section 504
If your child is eligible for a Section 504 plan, you and your student are legally entitled to the following protections:
Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE): The district must provide regular or special education and related aids/services designed to meet your child's individual educational needs as adequately as the needs of non-disabled students are met.
Reasonable accommodations: Students have the right to modifications that level the playing field without fundamentally altering the curriculum. This can include extra time on tests, preferential seating, assistive technology, blood-sugar monitoring breaks, or a personalized health plan.
Equal access to non-academic programs: Protection extends beyond the classroom. Qualified students have the right to participate in school sports, field trips, after-school clubs, and assemblies with necessary accommodations provided at no cost to the family.
Procedural Safeguards for Parents
Procedural Safeguards for Parents
As a parent or guardian, you have explicit procedural rights designed to keep you informed and involved in every step of the 504 process:
Right to Notice: The district must notify you before taking any action regarding the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of your child.
Right to Examine Records: You have the right to review and inspect all of your child's educational, medical, and 504 implementation records.
Right to an Impartial Hearing: If you disagree with the district's identification, evaluation, or accommodation decisions, you have the right to request an impartial due process hearing with an independent officer, where you may be represented by legal counsel.
Right to File a Grievance: You have the right to file a formal discrimination complaint with the District Section 504 Coordinator or directly with the federal U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
Protection Against Retaliation: Federal law strictly prohibits school staff or administration from retaliating, intimidating, or coercing any parent or student who exercises their rights or files a complaint under Section 504 or the ADA.
